Customer Reviews Finn Comfort Sansibar - 82550

This shoe has terrific arch support and is exceptionally comfortable. It runs a wee bit large but the two straps provide a snug fit.

Most comfortable sandal I've ever worn...well-made with high quality materials...width adjustable...great arch support...not real stylish & on the expensive side but comfort makes it worth it.

This is my second pair of these shoes. I love them! I had always worn sandals with a back strap prior to purchasing my first pair of these, but now I really like this style. I was concerned that my foot would slide out, but with the type of insole in this brand, my foot stays in place. This shoe is super comfortable and wears well. Another nice feature is that this company will refurbish their shoes and that includes replacing the insole. They come back looking almost like new. After two seasons, I had this done and now after a third season I have purchased a second pair. I give these shoes and this brand a strong endorsement.

Love these shoes! Fit is perfect in all dimensions! This is my first pair of Finn Comfort, and I will definitely be back for more!

Great comfort and support. I can wear these all day, everyday and my feet don't hurt. Great style. I have these in several colors. Got my first pair 5 years ago when I had back surgery and have not been disappointed. The original pair is still in great shape.

Good arch support and flexible width with the velcro straps, but a hard footbed. I need more cushioning.

True to size and very well made. Lots of support but too stiff for me. I'm returning them.

nice but too big for me.

The Finn sandals are comfortable, but I have trouble keeping them on. I love the quality and sturdiness . I think my foot slips because I have bunions and the width of my foot does not work with the average width of my heel. The slip on is not for me.

These would have been great except for 1 problem: The end of the bottom flap on the closure closest to the ankle hits my foot right on the bone. So they were very uncomfortable and I have to return them.

I love the way they look & they are supportive, but the leather is not comfortable, especially around the toe area. It feels very stiff. I'm going to take them to a shoe store to see if they can soften the leather, as I cannot return them. I have tried breaking them in slowly over time & it has just not worked. I'm very surprised & disappointed given their glowing reviews and their price.

The leather straps were great in adjusting to a perfect width! But too stiff; I would be getting a blister before long across my toes, etc on top. Also, I agree with another customer who wished the inserts were in black, instead of tan. I can foresee them looking dirty after some time. My biggest complaint was that the leather straps felt so stiff, it was hard to walk smoothly and comfortably, for me. Quality seemed amazing, but I cannot say that they have excellent arch support. Certainly much better, however, than most Vionic styles.

The printed red leather is even nicer than the photo. This was my first time trying Finn Comfort and I was shocked at how little-to-no support or cushioning there was at the pad for my foot. I tried the insert that comes with the shoe and found the arch on this much too high. This shoe must work for some feet but not mine.

I have one other pair of Finn comfort (boot) that I love so I wanted to try this slip on. It was comfortable, but I didn’t like the appearance for my feet. They felt a little more casual than I was looking for the office.

This white pair was my 2nd pair (other pair, red, size 38D), the older pair fits fine (I take a 7-1/2 wide shoe, sometimes an 8 wide, normally not a wide sandal). This 2nd pair (white) did not fit the same as the older red pair (my feet haven't changed, the red ones fit fine). Not sure why, they just seem tighter all around, as the red one were great out-of-the-box. Sending this pair back. Zappos: the greatest in shipping, returns, styles, etc.

The sandals are very nice looking, but I had to return them. The top strap went right over the bone on the top of my foot making every step noticeable, not painful at this time, but over time it would become so. The width is a little wider than other Finn Comfort shoes I have, but with the adjustable straps it is still possible to get a good fit even if your foot isn't wide (mine is medium or B). I kept a pair of the soft Ventura I ordered with these for comparison. They didn't have the problem with the strap even though they are a very similar design.

These shoes have high arches and did not feel comfortable, as if I had a large lump in that area. They also, in my taste, have the look of old lady shoes, and are somewhat on a heavy side. I had to return them.

For someone like myself, with higher than average arches, these sandals do not offer enough support. Because they removable foot beds, I thought I could try them with an orthotic inserts. This might have worked, but the deal-breaker for me was that the inside of the uppers had rough-feeling edges -- not good in a barefoot sandal. I was sorry I had to return them; they are beautiful to look at!

The arch support is a sharp point that digs into the bottom of your foot.

I am so disappointed in this brand as I had expected to be able to wear them without my orthotics at times......wrong.....the footbed felt like very little cushion and was extremely uncomfortable the first day I wore them out shopping (they felt great in my home on my wood floors). I could not fit my hard plastic orthotic as they had hard firm sides of the footbed and wouldn't let them lay flat. I have a 2/3 orthotic and have worn them in many other brands of sandals....Clark's, Easy Spirit etc. without a problem. And Clark's are naturally so comfortable I can go without orthotics in some styles. I've never paid this much money for any shoe but will have to keep them because of had worn them outside for 1 day! I have multiple problems with one of my feet and have never been so disappointed in a pair of sandals.

I wanted this shoe to work so badly... but it did not. It was large, the top strap was wide and dug into the spot where the top of my foot met my leg, and there was not enough arch support for my plantar fasciitis. As always, Zappos can't be beat for quick delivery ease of return, and customer service.

I am done with Finn Comfort shoes! No more! I am disgusted that I have wasted so much money on shoes that squeak. No matter what I do to try to get rid of the squeak, it never goes away. I have bought Jamaica, Gomera, Catalina, and Sansibar. It's always the same. I have put pads on the shoes in an attempt to get rid of the squeak, and the pads have left adhesive marks behind, so I cannot return the shoes. It must be the way these shoes conform to my particular feet. Hardly anyone else on the reviews complains about this, so it must be just me. The shoes are well-made and supportive, but I am totally done with buying expensive shoes that I have to spend so much time trying to make them be quiet. I hope I remember not to ever buy this brand again! I bought Finns years ago when I was teaching school and threw them out in frustration because of the squeaking. Now, years later, I am trying Finns again, and it is the same result. The definition of insanity. Lesson learned!

I had high hopes for this shoe. Unfortunately, my hopes did not pan out. The sandal is stiff and rubbed my foot in all the wrong places. I did appreciate that I could adjust the fit of both sections with velcro which is almost always missing on many shoe brands. My feet narrow at the toes and I have high arches. There was no discernible arch support. I was disappointed that they didn’t fit! Really like the shoe. My absolutely favorite shoe brand is Romika, most of the time fits me like a glove and great arch support but alas, their recent styles are not for me. Second favorite brand is Naot.

Don't buy most uncomfortable sandal. I took them to Hawaii and only wore them once. So disappointed.

very un-attractive shoe, ridge in back of shoe makes it longer.
